1) 4 Days of 24/7 Prayer for Libya & Morocco
The earthquake in Morocco and the floods in Libya left thousands dead and tens of thousands suffering. Both places have little access to the Gospel. Join us in praying that as physical and emotional needs are met, may Moroccans and Libyans have opportunities to also experience spiritual healing and comfort in Christ. Pray that these disasters would lead to disciples and churches being made in these lands. Learn more at https://northafrica.pray4movement.org/. read more…
2) New Book: “Essentials for People Care and Development”
Geoff Whiteman, Director of the Valeo Research Insitute, has just released a brand new book that he co-authored entitled, Essentials for People Care and Development. A collection of best practices, research, reflections, and strategies. Finding, sending, and caring for global workers has grown increasingly complex for sending organization’s leaders and staff. The global worker community is more multicultural, and global crises seem to be more frequent. We can no longer make the same assumptions about shared values, which can open the door for legal difficulties. We all want to see staff thriving and serving the kingdom to their full potential, but how can we support that? In this book, you will be able to dig deeper into these fundamental issues and more.
